Behavioral Economics Course

What will I learn?

Learn how Behavioral Economics can help you in your Economics work. This training will teach you about important ideas like how to 'nudge' people, how to design choices carefully, and the 'prospect theory'. You'll see how psychology fits into economic plans and understand how it affects how people buy things over time. We'll look at real examples of how policies have worked (or not worked) and figure out why. You'll become an expert in understanding why people buy things, looking at things like what motivates them, what their community expects, and what's going on in their heads. You'll also get better at looking at data to find patterns and understand what customers are saying. Join us now to become better at your job and help make smart economic plans that actually work.
